MB Quart PFC 210 (4" mid w/ 1" tweet mounted coaxially)

this speaker is now out of manufacture; the replacement is PVF 210 (4" tweet w/ 1.6" tweet) this will still fit if mounted coaxially. the sound is sensational.

@ insite,

How did you end up mounting the coaxial?

the MB quart separates are unique in that you can mount them separately or you can install a coaxial standoff in the woofer that holds the tweeter. in this configuration, i simply unglued / unscrewed the factory speakers from the dash grilles. i then screwed in the new MB Quarts (they mate right up). if i recall, i did add an extra bracket (i may have used it from the old speakers & cut them up). it was pretty easy. i put the crossovers behind the oddments trays in back of the center console.

Well....I have the Hertz Mille 3-way system with the ribbon midrange drivers in my dash.....absolute PITA to get them in but Oh My do they sound amazing. As to cost.... since my car is a demo car for an audio shop expensive, but barely reasonable. Retail? Dont even ask.....

I used Infinity Kappa 42.7i. Can be found on ebay for about $60. Install was simple but I had to cut the old speaker apart. Sounds great, much more detailed with tighter, lower bass. Very much recommended.
